The last pages of the album of 2012, I'm so behind.. 1 of the 2 (the one with banners) is terribly lifted, but with so many photo's waiting, I think that's allowed every now and then. But I'm happy with the results, it's becoming a great album. We've been looking at the pictures so many times lately that we booked a second vacation there for this summer. The Loire in France is beautiful, many castles to visit, great!

At Oma Dee I saw a fun, but difficult challenge: make a round card! It sounds so simple, but I realised I never make round cards and thought for that reason it's a great challenge. I'm very happy with the result, a circle card is fun too!

Yesterday I finished my card for the Crazy voor CAS Challenge. For me a real challenge, at least one Doilie had to be in your card. For me a first, luckely my mother has a lot of scrapstuff to and I coul borrow a Doilie Die. I have a feeling that this will not be the last time I borrowed her Die!

Our youngest daughter will turn 5 next week! For a while now she's been curious to what card I would make for her. So a cute card is must be! She is totally into horses and unicorns, for this card I uses my Hero Arts stamps. I'm confident she will like this card!

Valentine's day is only a day away! I most admit, I didn't grew up with the traditions of valentine, here in Holland it's not the same as in the US. But the younger generation is picking it up from the media these days. My daughters, almost 5 en 7 years old are very enthousiastic. They both have a boy friend, really adorable at their age, whom they made a card for. I thought I would suprise them tomorrow with a little treat for valentine!

In January I entered a secret cardlift on the SA-forum. I send in this card for the cardlift. So great to see, a few people entered. The first one on the list send her card to the next person who had to make her own version of the first card en send it on to the next. No one was allowed to show the cards before the end of the cardlift, so you've only seen the card from the person before you on the list. Amazing to see how the cards changed on the way to the end! This card we also made in my workshop in January.

I love challenges moren and more. Every week I'm looking forward for a new one. The SU-per challenge is one of my favourites, for the new challenge I sent the following card in. The challenge was to make a card of project with washi-tape.

For the teachers and the girls of my daughters volleyball team treats were made also. With the wunderfull treat bags from Stampin' Up! we created the treats below! The bags with choco crispies for the teachers and the bags filled with jellybeans for the sportive girls at volleybal.

Being creative sometimes takes away from othet things! Lately I've been busy creating, but didn't find the time yet to share my projects on my blog. But as promised, here are the pictures of the treats my daughter gave at school for her birthday. We've been busy together, and with pride she presented the treats to her friends at school!

Each time is seems like a real big wonder! The world invites another beautiful baby girl! A card has to be made offcourse! This morning I had time to be creative with the girls at school. The result is allready on it's way, but not before I took a picture.
